Chapter 20 – Territorial Conflict
“Oh, it looks like some kind of ants are moving their house.”
2,500 soldiers, not a large number in the war, but by no means small, gathered under the nameless peaks of the Black Rock Mountains.
The pitiful guys crowding around and coming to kill us, looking at the numbers, of course, me and my subordinates don’t seem to have a chance, but that’s only true if we fought on the same battlefield as them.
It is true that we have settled in a disadvantageous place if we set the premise that we are going to play for a long time. However, if they personally came all the way here, the story would be different.
Besides, at the point where I was worried that I would die of boredom after resting, playing, and doing everything I had to do for the past few days, they said, “Please kill me,” And came to where we are.
Wouldn’t it be strange to lose this?
Besides, the guy in command of those soldiers seems to be quite an idiot. Yesterday, our children blew rocks to show off the spicy taste, but the next day, as soon as the sun rises, they bring their soldiers like this?
Anciently, it was said in the Military Code that if you know the enemy and know yourself, you will win in a hundred battles, and if you don’t know the enemy, you’ll win half the battle. Of course, this is what I saw when I was human, but look at them.
Do you know about our children up on the mountain? All I know is that the number is small. If you’ve noticed, but they’re moving their soldiers with no idea what they’re doing.
What kind of idiot is taking command like that?
The silver hairtail that led the horse to where we are?
To be honest, if I had to say a word about him, I could call him a reckless guy.
You’ll have to know if the lower part will be reckless or shy, but uh hmm! Anyway, he was reckless, but I personally think he was wise.
Well, what is the wisest thing for a married man to run to the enemy camp without a single soldier? If he had left the soldiers only behind him that day, the spirit of the allies would have been further dampened.
‘Cause it was only one-sided
It was broken here and there by a stone that suddenly flew from the sky.
At that point, even when Eungalchi retreated, he chose his own way to give courage to his allies. It is to show one’s own prowess called ‘Hero’.
Even when playing something like a game, if a hero character comes out and wipes out all the enemies in the midst of chaos, that alone gives you a sense of pleasure. In other words, if he hadn’t met me yesterday, he would be, to the soldiers beneath his feet, a ‘hero who bravely jumped into the enemy camp while entrusting himself to a single horse, and returned confidently’.
It is to become a spiritual supporter.
But unfortunately, he met me.
As a result, he was reckless and almost destroyed the morale of his allies, but heh, he must have gained something in his own way.
Did telling my kids to pretend they were hungry yesterday worked?
Then why can’t he be found among the crowd of soldiers?
How big is the injury inflicted by me? No way. I heard that in case of external injuries, they are instantly healed with things like magic or potions.
A person called a hero disappears from the battlefield with the excuse of being wounded by an enemy? It can’t be.
Then why doesn’t he show up…
“Is there any discord with the allies?”
‘If five human beings gather, one of them is trash’ is also the wise saying of a great sage regardless of the era.
I wondered if I was on a flat foot for no reason, but seeing the soldiers rushing up here with the soldiers in such a hurry, the rumors of discord with the allies added more weight.
Even if the coalition bastards brought soldiers, I was expecting at least 3 days later, but today, seeing the people who came like this, I sighed.
What kind of idiot is in command?
Isn’t it too much that you don’t even know when to move your soldiers?
Unlike the majestic march, as if to show bitterness to us looking down on them, befitting a human union that had thoroughly prepared for a war with us, the soldiers’ faces were full of anxiety rather than revenge against us.
It was only yesterday. Not three days ago, not two days ago, but just one day ago.
It still lingers in my eyes to see the scene where my comrades are stoned in front of me, their heads exploded and their limbs crushed, and even though the bodies of my comrades who died from being stoned have not been completely recovered, they march out?
Honestly, what are they guilty of?
They had no choice but to go because they were told to go from above, but if they made a mistake today, they would feel anxious that they might be following the children who were stoned and died yesterday, spreading like an epidemic to the soldiers below the peak.
Originally, evil talk spreads more easily than good talk.
Even if you can’t see where the reliable silver hairtail is, and some dog slap is in command of them, honestly, they must be worried about whether their limbs will remain intact on their corpses, putting the victory or defeat of today’s battle second?
It’s a rudimentary fact that even I, who was only watching casually, could understand it, but I thought that the people who commanded them were also very amazing.
Could it be that they just thought that their numbers were overwhelming, so they just had to push through?
It is a rocky mountain with a steep height, a steep slope, and no place to rest, so the cavalrymen who climb this place on horseback will fall backwards and break their heads the moment their horse slips once.
Knowing that, the cavalrymen who rush into the enemy camp ahead of anyone else are climbing up this place, holding onto the reins with their hands, dragging their horses.
“It’s a fucking march on flat ground, but it’s a mountain march in a fucking terrain. It’s really worth dying for.”
In the military, you can ride an ambulance even if you are fine or have a broken leg, but there is no such thing here. Ordinary infantrymen climbing the peak armed with iron equipment that looked heavier than military commanders already had the faces of defeated soldiers.
But if you’re still persistent, you’re a human. After marching on and on, you’ve arrived at the midpoint of the peak. Yes, that’s where I fought that silver hairtail guy.
So, is it hard? It’s going to be hard I know this is the enemy camp, but you can’t go to war with tired soldiers, can you? Aren’t we hiding like this like you’re scared?
“All troops, take a break here and march again!”
Furry
I’m dying, it’s hard
Aye, what kind of trouble is this?
Underneath, songs that I could relate to were resounding. On the other hand, behind me, my subordinates are salivating while holding armfuls of rocks the size of their bodies.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go”
Now, passing by me, who even danced, my subordinates, smiling like mischievous people in the neighborhood, were holding back laughter that seemed like they would burst out, waiting for my command.
Recalling my military days, which I do not want to recall, I looked down at the soldiers who were resting with their legs stretched out in an empty field.
“Originally, a 10-minute break in the march is the national rule.”
But how would you feel if I asked you to go even though you couldn’t even rest? What if you want to rest now, but the grim reaper appears next to you and asks you to rest?
I muttered, clicking my tongue at the massacre that was about to happen.
“Go ahead and tell me your impressions. I don’t know about other days, but at least today, I don’t think I’ll be meeting that person.”
And,
“Okay, hold on tight! It’s a rice cake!!”
Following my hand gestures, the rocks the size of my torso started rolling down the slope. The rocks that started to roll excitedly, they said that they did something like Demon King after a long time.
The Donkey Kong game I used to play in arcades when I was young is just jumping and avoiding the rolling barrels, but I don’t know how to avoid this.
It is the opening of a bulletproof game room with nowhere to escape.
-Rumble thump!
-Aaaaa!! It’s a surprise!!
– Avoid!!
Even if it was chewed up, the screams coming from below were spectacle. My ears were prickling at the noise of the screams of the ignorant people who didn’t know what harmony was.
No, in the first place, why do you think we will stand against centipedes on an equal footing? Very ignorant,
What is the view below? Uh… Can I tell you this? Just looking at that, it looks like you won’t be able to eat giblets when you order a late-night snack for the time being.
Just like that, for about 10 minutes, I rolled only rocks and shouted to my subordinates who were waiting for my next order, looking at the guys who were standing in a group of two, taller and smaller than me, just as I had instructed earlier.
“Turn around!!”
——————-
-Aaaaa!!
-Help me!!
Under the peak where only screams could be heard, Silveria was building a camp with the remaining soldiers in the camp.
“… “
What would it be like if the sound of something rolling down, the sound of something being crushed, a scream filled with pain, hell, which punishes those who committed great sins in life, had arrived in this world?
There is nowhere to escape. That’s why you can’t go up, and you can’t run down. I will have no choice but to pray and only pray that I will not get hit. Occasionally, huge rocks rolled down from the middle of the hill, but they could not harm those who were preparing in advance.
The small rocks were blocking the damage with the shields they made even if the wooden fences provided by each squad were torn off, so the soldiers thought it was fortunate that they were not killed by the stones, but they were vaguely worried that they might end up going up there too.
But at the sight of Sylveria, who maintains her composure even at this moment when her stone and her flesh are splattered, her soldiers pay her respect to her from the bottom of her heart, and the idiot above her She was paying her respects to her soldiers who had followed their superiors.
And then
The roar that seemed to last forever finally stopped.
“Sylveria-sama”
“Not yet.”
– Turn around!!
Instead of the sound of rocks, Sylveria, who recognized her identity at once at her familiar voice that resonated through the peaks, gritted her teeth.
‘It’s him’
Originally, he was the one to be cut down, but now he is an orc with a red bear skin who has become the opponent of such a fate that he has to kill everything in life even at risk.
“Silveria-sama!!”
Could she have unwittingly expressed her intent to kill the orc? Sylveria tried to say sorry to Kandor, who was calling her, but she turned her gaze to where he pointed and said nothing to her. I lost it.
– It’s mealtime!
– Yahooooo!!
-Keeeee
Each of the monsters was jumping down from the peak riding an unknown large ball like a bear rolling a ball in a circus. There are those who skilfully descend from the bouncing balls, those who trip and fall and just roll on their own bodies, etc.
I thought I’d seen all kinds of bizarre things in my life for the past few days, but personally, this scene I’m watching today was by far the best.
“Sir Kandor, slowly… “
Just as he was about to say, “Proceed with an operation to save allies who will retreat from above,”
“That one?!”
The big balls the monsters rode disappeared somewhere, and ogres, trolls, lizardmen, etc. Appeared before anyone knew it and stirred the battlefield.
“Sir Kandor, hurry up!”
“Ancient! All-army assault! I’m going to save my allies!”
It’s scary, but I still can’t abandon the people I ate with until just a moment ago. The soldiers who were still scared but decided to take courage started to climb the peak shouting, and Silveria also started climbing the peak at the head of the soldiers.
Just in time, fortunately, those who survived that hell started screaming and descending the peak, so if the timing is right, even a part of them can be rescued.
But at that moment
“!!”
A guy appeared.
“Oak… !”
An orc clad in a red bear skin was smiling at Sylveria, who was leading the soldiers with broken necks in his hands.
“An uninvited guest is coming to our banquet, but where is the invitation!”
Gya haha, the orc with a vicious smile threw back the soldiers in his hands at random and kicked the randomly rolling head towards Sylveria like kicking a soccer ball.
Of course, he didn’t blow it to get hit, so his head, which had lost his torso, fell to the floor and was smashed.
“You guys… “
The orc taunted Sylveria by holding the corpse lying on the floor and shaking her body back and forth like a folk dance.
“Why? Do I even have to treat the dead anyway? Just talk I really hate touching my little cock, but as if you were touching the balls of a dead child, pluck their balls one by one and hang them around your neck like a pearl necklace.”
“Shut that mouth!!”
As if he could not stand the insults to Sylveria even if he could endure words that insulted him, Kandor quickly brushed his words and started to climb to the place where the orcs were. All.
“I will rip your mouth open.”
“Oh, yes, oh, you’re scared~”
Now, like a pack of wolves chasing fleeing sheep, the monsters are trying to finish off by chasing after the desperately fleeing soldiers down the peak.
But
“Yaya! Keep an eye on it! Pay attention!”
At the Orc’s shout, the Orc opened his mouth to the dumb monsters holding the corpses in their hands.
“Hey~ I see an article coming to us. No warrior behind. What do you think he said he would rip my mouth out?”
In the midst of the quarrel, at the words of the orc, as if they had heard a funny joke, his group started to laugh wahaha with faces stained with human blood.
-You must have been a brave knight.
-Even a silver cockhouse can’t handle our captain.
The soldiers who ran away at the sound of laughter from the Demon King army that covered the entire Black Rock Mountain Range fell down with their feet broken and their noses broken, and the soldiers who climbed up to rescue them stood tall and trembled in fear.
“Now, procrastination is no fun, so let’s slow down a bit!!”
At the same time, the orc who had been taunting Kandor at the edge of the clearing jumped down and smashed the backs of the fleeing soldiers one by one, running toward Kandor who was running toward him.
“How dare this guy!”
It wasn’t enough to harass the dead and damage their corpses, until they insulted themselves as knights. Kandor drove the rider towards him, saying that he would kill that orcman no matter what.
But
– Hee-hee-eeing?!
The orc leaping forward on all fours seemed to be simply running, but the effect was greater than expected. The combination of the bear skin he wore and the large orc turned him into a bear before he knew it, and the horse Kandor was riding seemed to think the bear was running towards him. I was surprised to know.
In those few seconds when he calmed down the startled floundering horse, Kandor, who briefly took his eyes off the orc that was running towards him while building a lighthouse, hurriedly found the orc, but the orc had already turned into a beast and jumped at him.
“Ohh!!”
“Sir Kandor!!”
Despite Sylveria’s cry, Kandor had already become a helpless baby deer and was overpowered by the hands of an untouchable beast called Orc.
“Aha, ahahahaha!! A writer called a knight has to sell his eyes so easily to write!!”
“Let go, let go!”
“No, no, you are a hostage.”
“What?”
Before he could say anything more, the orc who had suffocated him and passed out smirked at Silveria, who glared at him while drooling, and at the back of his hand, which suddenly began to glow.
At the same time
‘What?!’
Seeing her suddenly thumping Sylveria wrapped around her own stomach and making a puzzled expression, the orc gave her a chuckle like a child at her funny toy.
“Wash that body well and wait. I’ll be looking for you soon, Gyahahahahahaha!!”
“Ka, Lord Kandor, it’s so… Pooh, pooh… “
‘Mo, the body… ?!’
Silveria trembled, unable to control her subordinates who were being held and her own body that suddenly became hot. But then
“Oh right! I forgot something. I don’t know your name yet!!”
Did I forget something? The orc that had disappeared into the clearing suddenly reappeared.
I don’t know how I lived in that chaos, but with a frightened expression on my hand, I was holding the staff member in my hand.
“If you look at novels or movies like this, strangely, brave knights who fight hard for people die, but instead, cunning children live?”
“Hee, heehee!!”
“Hey, let’s ask one thing. If you answer well, I’ll save you”
“Ah, okay,”
“… Are you talking nonsense?”
Fall out-
“Aaaaa!! Ah, I see!”
The scream of the staff member whose arm had been shattered because of one wrong word was heard. The soldiers who fled from the peak had now completed their rescue, so they were able to see the ugly figure of the staff held in the hands of the orcs.
“Is that hero or Nabal, what is his name?”
“Sy, Sylveria Isis! Sylveria Isis… !”
“Half word”
Fast-
“It is aaaaa!!!”
“There is a saying that the left arm should not know what the right arm is doing. However, I broke it fairly because I thought it would be a little unfair if I didn’t know the left arm even though it was the same body? Anyway, what’s that girl’s name? Line? What?”
“This is Sylveria Isis… ”
“Ah fuck, crying is ugly and I’m going to die”
The orc said, ‘But you answered, so go away’ and released the staff member he had held onto. The staff, who was running out of tears and saying thank you, but at that time, he heard the words of an orc behind him.
“Oh right. Did I just say They say that children who are cunning in novels or movies survive.”
“Wait a minute! Crawl,”
Puck-!
Before he begged for his life, the staff member turned into a headless ghost with a painful expression on his face with tears and runny nose from an ax blade that flew from behind him. As soon as the head of the head of the staff, which had been rolling around, reached the feet of the horse Silveria was riding, the orc continued as if he had waited.
“This is not a novel like that.”
Heck, I wanted to try this line once! With the words, while dancing a strange dance, the orc gestured towards Sylveria as if telling it to go away.
“Even if you don’t have to do it there, don’t worry, I’ll go find you! Sylveria”
“… “
There was nothing she could do. She could only hold on and watch her uncontrollable body.
-Leader! Leader! Leader! Leader!
– Great captain!
-The wise man of the Demon King’s army! Our captain!
=Waaaaa!!!!
The red blood that flowed down the rocks in the clearing, the blood that flowed like rainwater through the ditch. Sylveria closed her eyes tightly.
“Retreat to base.”
“Yes? Ha, but Lord Kandor… ?”
“If we stay here, even the soldiers we saved will die! Retreat and reorganize before they change their minds!!”
Of course, Sylveria wants to save him too. However, he himself is the commander. He can’t let soldiers walk limb for the sake of personal feelings.
‘What is a warrior… ! I am so incompetent… !’
A single tear flowed from her tightly closed eyes.
—————–
“Oh, the tears of a beautiful woman, my mouth is watering”
